SummersRadio™ New Music + Free Download! Dum Dum Girls - 'Coming Down' The Dum Dum Girls are an all female four piece band from Los Angeles, led by singer/ songwriter Kristen Grunded aka Dee Dee. They released their debut album called 'I Will Be' on Seattle's Sub Pop Records last March. It was produced by Richard Gottehrer - who is responsible for producing the debut albums from Blondie and the Go-Go's. The Dum Dum Girls are a bit darker sounding than those two bands - they've cited The Ronettes, Siouxsie & The Banshees, The Jesus & Mary Chain and Mazzy Star as major influences.
Dum Dum Girls are set to release their second album called 'Only In Dreams' in September. The album is preceded by the tragic passing of her mother last October, who was suffering from brain cancer. Dee Dee describes this difficult period thusly: 'It was really hard to figure out how to balance the opportunity of having a record out on Sub Pop and wanting to tour, and then feeling really awful for not staying home and just quitting music for the year. Our next record, as much as I really love the songs, is definitely a dark record.'
The good news is that if this powerful song is to your liking, Sub Pop has made it available as a free download which you can get here: http://www.subpop.com/artists/dum_dum_girls
The Dum Dum Girls will be touring this fall in support of 'Only In Dreams' and will arrive in Vancouver on Saturday October 8th to perfrom at the Electric Owl! Tickets are on sale now here:

This is first single from 'Only In Dreams' - the beautifully sad 'Coming Down' - singer Dee Dee sounds a bit like the legendary Chrissie Hynde at times here... Enjoy!
